Description
- Conventionally, at least one STI (shallow trench insulator) is provided between a P doped region and an N doped region to separate the P doped region and the N doped region.
FIG.1 is asemiconductor device 100 with a STI 101 for related art. As shown inFIG.1 , aSTI 101 is provided between a P dopedregion 103 and an N dopedregion 105. Therefore, a current path CP for transmitting currents from the P dopedregion 103 to the N dopedregion 105 must by-pass theSTI 101 since materials of theSTI 101 are not conductive. In such case, the current path CP is longer, such that the charge/discharge time for the semiconductor device is correspondingly extended, which may causes some disadvantages. For example, if thesemiconductor device 100 is applied as an ESD device, the circuit protected by such device is easily broken since thesemiconductor device 100 has a low discharge speed. - Therefore, one objective of the present application is to provide a semiconductor device that can provide higher discharging speed.
- In one embodiment, a semiconductor device comprising a substrate is disclosed. The substrate comprises: a well of type one; a first doped region of type two, provided in the well of type one; a well of type two, adjacent to the well of type one; and a first doped region of type one, doped in the well of type two. The substrate comprises no isolating material provided in a current path formed by the first doped region of type two, the well of type one, the well of type two and the first doped region of type one.

The second doped region of type two D_22 and the second doped region of type one D_12 are provided between the first doped region of type one D_11 and the first doped region of type two D_21. In such case, the first conductive material CM_1 is provided on a region between the first doped region of type two D_21 and the second doped region of type two D_22.

semiconductor device 200, a protecting material P_1 can be provided as shown inFIG.2 . By this way, the silicide is not generated at the location of the protecting material P_1. Please refer toFIG.8(a) , which illustrates an embodiments that the structure inFIG.2 further comprises silicide SI.

FIG.3 , thesemiconductor device 300 comprises similar structure for which of thesemiconductor device 200. One of the differences is the first type is changed from the N type to the P type, and the second type is changed from the P type to the N type inFIG.3 . Additionally, the operational voltages VDD, VSS are swapped. Furthermore, current path CP is inversed, thus it is from the VDD provided to the first doped region of type one D_11 to IO. Moreover, the voltages TP, TN are swapped.FIG. 8 (b) illustrates the situation that thesemiconductor device 300 comprises silicide SI. Other structures and operations for thesemiconductor device 300 can be clearly understood based on the description forFIG.2 , thus it is omitted for brevity here. - The substrate S in the
semiconductor device 400 inFIG.4 also comprises the well of type one W_1, the first doped region of type two D_21, the well of type two W_2, the first doped region of type one D_11, the third doped region of type one D_31 and the second doped region of type one D_32. However, thesemiconductor device 400 comprises only the second doped region of type two D_22 rather than the first conductive material CM_1, the second conductive material CM_2, the second doped region of type one D_21 and the second doped region of type two D_22 inFIG.2 . In thesemiconductor device 400, the second doped region of type two D_22 does not touch the first doped region of type one D_11 and the first doped region of type two D_21. Additionally, the second doped region of type two D_22 inFIG. 4 receives a voltage PTR to assist transmitting the current. - During the manufacturing of the
semiconductor device 400, thesemiconductor device 400 also comprises protecting material P_1. Besides, thesemiconductor device 400 further comprises the protecting material P_2 and the protecting material P_3. The protecting material P_2 is provided on at least part of the first doped region of type two D_21, at least part of the second doped region of type two D_22, and at least part of the well of type one W_1 between the first doped region of type two D_21 and the second doped region of type two D_22.

Therefore, the silicide SI is not provided at the locations for the protecting materials P_1, P_2 and P_3, as shown inFIG.9(a) . - The
semiconductor device 500 inFIG.5 comprises similar structure for which of thesemiconductor device 400. One of the differences is the first type is changed from the N type to the P type, and the second type is changed from the P type to the N type inFIG.5 . Additionally, the operational voltages VDD, VSS are swapped. Furthermore, current path CP is inversed, thus it is from the VDD provided to the first doped region of type one D_11 to IO.FIG.9(b) illustrates the situation that thesemiconductor device 500 comprises silicide SI. Other structures and operations for thesemiconductor device 500 can be clearly understood based on the description forFIG.4 , thus it is omitted for brevity here. -
FIG.6 is a schematic diagram illustrating asemiconductor device 600 according to another embodiment of the present application. The only difference between the embodiments inFIG.4 andFIG.6 is that the second doped region of type two D_22 does not touch the first doped region of type one D_11 inFIG. 4 , but the second doped region of type two D_22 touches (or overlaps) the first doped region of type one D_11 inFIG.6 . Therefore, the protecting material P_3 inFIG.6 is provided on at least part of the first doped region of type one D_11, and at least part of the second doped region of type two D_22. The silicide SI is not provided at the locations for the protecting materials P_1, P_2 and P_3 ofFIG.6 , as shown inFIG.10(a) . - The
semiconductor device 700 inFIG.7 comprises similar structure for which of thesemiconductor device 600. One of the differences is the first type is changed from the N type to the P type, and the second type is changed from the P type to the N type inFIG. 6 . Additionally, the operational voltages VDD, VSS are swapped. Furthermore, current path CP is inversed, thus it is from the VDD provided to the first doped region of type one D_11 to IO.FIG.10(b) illustrates the situation that thesemiconductor device 700 comprises silicide. Other structures and operations for thesemiconductor device 700 can be clearly understood based on the description forFIG.6 , thus it is omitted for brevity here. - The voltages TP, TN in
FIG.2 andFIG.3 , and the voltages PTR,NTR inFIG.4-FIG.7 , are applied for assisting the transmitting of the currents, as above-mentioned. The values thereof depend on the types of channels for the current path. In the embodiments ofFIG.2-FIG.7 , the voltage TN is higher than the voltage TP, and the voltage PTR is higher than the voltage NTR.FIG.11 is a circuit diagram illustrating avoltage providing circuit 1100 for providing voltages to the semiconductor devices disclosed in the present application, according to one embodiment of the present application. As shown inFIG.11 , thevoltage providing circuit 1100 is a RC inverter. A higher voltage, such as TN or PTR can be derived from the output of thevoltage providing circuit 1100, and a lower voltage, such as TP or NTR, can be derived from the input of thevoltage providing circuit 1100. Please note the circuit for providing the voltages TP, TN, PTR, NTR are not limited to the circuit structure shown inFIG.11 . - In view of the above-mentioned embodiments, no STI is provided between P doped region and the N doped region, thus the current path is shorter and the discharging time for the semiconductor device is reduced. Also, voltage assisting the current transmitting can be provided to the semiconductor device. By this way, the circuit need to be protected can be well protected if the disclosed semiconductor device is applied as an ESD device.
